Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Away from SSW" is asking for a direction that is opposite or away from the abbreviation SSW, which stands for South-Southwest. The answer for this clue is "NNE", which stands for North-Northeast.

Here is an explanation of why "NNE" is the correct answer:

1. Understanding compass directions: In geography and navigation, the compass rose is divided into 360 degrees, with the four main cardinal directions being North, South, East, and West.
2. Opposite direction: The clue mentions "away from SSW," so we are looking for the direction that is opposite or opposite of South-Southwest.
3. Compass opposite: South-Southwest is located exactly between South and West at 202.5 degrees on the compass. To find the opposite direction, we subtract 180 degrees from 202.5 degrees, giving us 22.5 degrees.
4. Dividing the opposite direction: The compass rose is divided into 16 equal parts, so we further divide 22.5 degrees by 22.5 to find the specific opposite direction.
5. Result: Dividing 22.5 by 22.5 gives us 1, indicating that the opposite direction from SSW is one of those divisions. Counting clockwise from North, 1 division takes us to North-Northeast (NNE).

Therefore, the answer to the clue "Away from SSW" is "NNE" because it represents the opposite direction from South-Southwest. Remember to always consider the compass directions when solving crossword clues related to geographical or navigational terms.
